Fourth Dispatch: It's Not What You Think. Voice.

Dear Fellow Residents of Luceti,

Wouldn't it be entertaining to put on some Games here in Luceti? Not that the Cultural Fair wasn't amusing, or any of the other activities going on here -- but true gladiatorial games. The pitting of one creature against another! Think of the thrill and drama and the release that goes along with that sort of entertainment! And here in Luceti we are ideally suited for a very exciting Games indeed.

Who would you sponsor or volunteer for this entertainment? Or would it all be...

[There is a pause here.]

Pokey-mans? I find human beings MUCH more interesting to watch, personally.

Why, I'm not sure, yet. It's difficult to say. I made the suggestion hoping that others would contribute.

What are they like in your home world then?

[Easier to know how to start building if she knows the foundations, right?]

........I'm guessing that you won't be happy to know about that.

[Her voice is tight; Effie has received enough punishment over the Hunger Games in Luceti. Many people seem to BLAME her for them, personally. How is any of what goes on in those games HER fault?]

If they are gladiatorial in the full meaning of the word then no, most likely not.

[From the sound of the other woman the general feedback she's been getting has been negative.]

Do these games have to include fighting or can they be taken in a more sports oriented route?

I expect them to be VERY sporting. [It's not really an answer.] Games are not fun unless all are sporting and follow the rules!

[Step off your platform to charge the Cornucopia too soon and you get blown to smithereens. That sort of thing.]

Ah, I meant centered around a sport of one kind or another. Say, racing or fencing or something along those likes.

[Sabriel's trying to take thoughts of this Game in a less dangerous route, hopefully Effie won't mind.]

Like soccer?

[The most violent and deadly sport alive, really.]
thebellthatbinds: (what was that?)

[Voice]

[personal profile] thebellthatbinds 2013-07-01 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Soccer? What's that?

[It's called 'football', thank you very much but Sabriel is unfamiliar with this other term for it.]

A ball is kicked by two teams, competing against each other to gain goals. Sometimes a human head is used.
